sinner_n reasonable_o expect_v from_o god_n and_o much_o less_o challenge_v it_o as_o a_o right_n that_o he_o shall_v redeem_v they_o from_o that_o state_n of_o misery_n into_o which_o they_o have_v

infinite_o excel_v all_o the_o obligation_n of_o natural_a justice_n now_o we_o be_v not_o our_o own_o but_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n and_o therefore_o must_v glorify_v god_n both_o with_o our_o

he_o who_o die_v for_o we_o for_o those_o man_n great_o mistake_v the_o nature_n and_o obligation_n of_o gratitude_n who_o think_v that_o gratitude_n leave_v they_o at_o liberty_n to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v it_o as_o they_o please_v whereas_o the_o obligation_n of_o gratitude_n especial_o in_o our_o present_a case_n be_v infinite_o more_o strong_a and_o forcible_a than_o those_o of_o justice_n and_o the_o punishment_n of_o ingratitude_n proportionable_o great_a for_o how_o shall_v we_o escape_v if_o we_o neglect_v so_o great_a salvation_n if_o we_o refuse_v to_o hear_v he_o who_o speak_v

gospel_n of_o his_o son_n to_o love_v serve_v and_o worship_v he_o we_o shall_v consider_v how_o unkind_a and_o ungrateful_a it_o be_v especial_o in_o those_o who_o call_v themselves_o christian_n to_o slight_a or_o neglect_v the_o worship_n of_o their_o god_n and_o saviour_n certain_o such_o man_n can_v expect_v to_o be_v save_v by_o christ_n after_o all_o he_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v for_o

the_o live_n god_n to_o have_v our_o portion_n with_o hypocrite_n and_o unbeliever_n signify_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o great_a misery_n of_o the_o next_o world_n now_o as_o unbeliever_n

neither_o as_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o as_o many_o as_o have_v sin_v without_o law_n shall_v also_o perish_v without_o law_n and_o as_o many_o as_o sin_v in_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v judge_v by_o the_o law_n and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n we_o may_v add_v as_o many_o as_o have_v sin_v in_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v judge_v by_o the_o gospel_n now_o to_o perish_v without_o the_o law_n signify_v a_o much_o easy_a punishment_n than_o to_o be_v judge_v by_o the_o law_n and_o to_o be_v judge_v by_o the_o gospel_n signify_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o that_o for_o as_o god_n have_v

and_o gomorah_n in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n than_o for_o capernaum_n sodom_n and_o gomorah_n be_v as_o vile_a infamous_a place_n as_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o god_n destroy_v they_o by_o very_o memorable_a judgement_n by_o rain_v fire_n and_o brimstone_n on_o they_o from_o heaven_n but_o yet_o they_o never_o enjoy_v those_o mean_n of_o grace_n which_o capernaum_n do_v where_o our_o saviour_n himself_o preach_v in_o person_n and_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o doctrine_n by_o many_o mighty_a work_n and_o therefore_o they_o shall_v

here_o and_o devil_n hereafter_o second_o another_o proposal_n i_o will_v make_v to_o these_o man_n be_v that_o they_o will_v not_o public_o affront_v religion_n that_o they_o will_v not_o so_o

they_o will_v not_o profane_v the_o holy_a scripture_n by_o turn_v they_o into_o ridicule_n or_o obscene_a and_o impious_a burlesque_fw-la this_o possible_o will_v be_v think_v a_o very_a odd_a

man_n though_o they_o be_v atheist_n i_o will_v not_o despair_v of_o convince_a they_o of_o the_o reasonableness_n of_o this_o proposal_n for_o first_o this_o be_v nothing_o but_o what_o the_o law_n of_o civility_n and_o good_a manner_n require_v from_o they_o no_o well-bred_a man_n will_v choose_v to_o put_v a_o public_a affront_n upon_o his_o friend_n and_o neighbour_n though_o he_o see_v they_o daily_o guilty_a of_o great_a folly_n and_o indiscretion_n the_o law_n of_o conversation_n require_v we_o to_o treat_v all_o man_n with_o just_a respect_n though_o their_o understanding_n be_v of_o different_a make_v and_o size_n and_o their_o fortune_n and_o way_n of_o life_n very_o different_a from_o our_o own_o much_o less_o than_o can_v a_o modest_a man_n endure_v the_o thought_n of_o affront_a mankind_n or_o laugh_v at_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v receive_v or_o establish_v by_o a_o universal_a consent_n though_o the_o belief_n of_o god_n be_v as_o very_o a_o dream_n and_o fancy_n as_o the_o tale_n of_o faries_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a reverence_n due_a to_o humane_a nature_n at_o least_o from_o man_n and_o since_o all_o mankind_n in_o all_o age_n of_o the_o world_n except_v some_o few_o wise_a and_o cautious_a atheist_n have_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o have_v honour_v he_o with_o public_a worship_n it_o be_v a_o affront_n to_o humane_a nature_n to_o laugh_v at_o the_o be_v of_o god_n though_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v it_o nay_o this_o be_v not_o only_o a_o affront_n to_o humane_a nature_n but_o to_o public_a government_n in_o all_o nation_n one_o religion_n or_o other_o be_v establish_v by_o a_o law_n so_o that_o these_o man_n do_v not_o only_o laugh_v at_o the_o dream_n and_o dotage_n of_o single_a man_n but_o at_o the_o unite_a counsel_n and_o most_o mature_a resolve_n of_o all_o the_o world_n which_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o great_a boldness_n but_o of_o very_o little_a wit_n or_o manner_n a_o modest_a man_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o suspect_v his_o own_o judgement_n of_o thing_n when_o he_o find_v himself_o oppose_v by_o the_o general_a consent_n of_o all_o man_n and_o the_o wisdom_n of_o all_o the_o world_n but_o if_o this_o do_v not_o make_v he_o of_o the_o common_a opinion_n yet_o at_o least_o he_o will_v not_o rude_o contradict_v it_o but_o not_o only_o the_o wisdom_n but_o the_o authority_n of_o government_n be_v affront_v by_o these_o man_n when_o they_o laugh_v at_o such_o public_a constitution_n at_o religion_n consider_v as_o establish_v by_o law_n so_o much_o do_v such_o man_n recede_v from_o the_o hobbs_n principle_n of_o their_o great_a master_n who_o though_o he_o have_v no_o great_a opinion_n of_o religion_n in_o itself_o yet_o think_v it_o something_o considerable_a when_o it_o become_v the_o law_n of_o the_o nation_n but_o neither_o the_o wisdom_n nor_o authority_n of_o law_n can_v command_v respect_n from_o some_o man_n without_o a_o vigorous_a execution_n of_o they_o and_o that_o will_v soon_o teach_v they_o better_a manner_n than_o ever_o they_o will_v learn_v in_o the_o school_n of_o atheism_n nay_o to_o laugh_v at_o the_o be_v of_o god_n and_o at_o religion_n be_v not_o only_o to_o affront_v the_o general_a sense_n of_o mankind_n and_o the_o wisdom_n and_o authority_n of_o all_o government_n but_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o sage_a philosopher_n and_o the_o most_o inquisitive_a man_n of_o all_o age_n among_o all_o the_o ancient_a philosopher_n no_o man_n express_o deny_v the_o be_v of_o god_n or_o that_o worship_n which_o be_v due_a to_o he_o epicurus_n indeed_o deny_v his_o providence_n which_o be_v only_o a_o more_o civil_a way_n of_o turn_v he_o out_o of_o the_o world_n though_o he_o pretend_v to_o worship_v he_o upon_o account_n of_o his_o infinite_a but_o idle_a and_o unactive_a perfection_n socrates_n die_v a_o martyr_n for_o religion_n and_o plato_n and_o aristotle_n do_v both_o acknowledge_v a_o supreme_a be_v and_o the_o late_a philosopher_n though_o they_o differ_v about_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n yet_o do_v not_o question_v but_o there_o be_v one_o so_o that_o the_o be_v of_o a_o god_n be_v not_o the_o mistake_n mere_o of_o a_o few_o ignorant_a unphilosophical_a head_n but_o have_v in_o all_o age_n have_v such_o learned_a patron_n as_o at_o least_o do_v not_o deserve_v to_o be_v laugh_v at_o by_o man_n of_o the_o

very_a silly_a thing_n for_o some_o few_o man_n though_o they_o be_v in_o the_o right_a to_o think_v to_o out-laugh_v all_o the_o world_n the_o loud_a laughter_n will_v always_o be_v on_o that_o

of_o religion_n do_v not_o so_o much_o provoke_v man_n to_o laughter_n as_o to_o a_o holy_a jealousy_n and_o indignation_n no_o man_n can_v endure_v with_o patience_n to_o hear_v that_o expose_v to_o
